the lightening conductor
the lightening conductor
wide and green and long
stiff-necked up the spire
wire
does god dive bomb his church and
why did he make minds that could fashion a lightening conductor
for the stone that appeared so solid in its protection and yet
worried about the devastation that a lightening bolt would inflict on the pews
on the prayer cushions’ red dented knees
wire
into the earth does it conduct to the underworld a flash of the over world
and never the resurrection of the reverse polarity the reverse magnetic fields
the belief in the molten dynamo at the core of a doctrine upon which the mantle sits
with its golden garb its crossed surpluses its laying of hands
but never once you notice
on the lightening conductor
but upon the bowed heads of a resistance to dogma that a true control rod would
apply to the critical facts that a lightening conductor defies interrogation
in the way the doors close on a congregation gone home with
the moon gone down amongst the black clouds of a gathering storm
prepare the baton has tapped the lectern the show begins
